Israeli bombing kills 10 aid seekers in starved Jabalia

Israeli shelling on a food distribution centre killed 10 Palestinian aid seekers on Monday in the Jabalia refugee camp, which has been under an Israeli siege blocking the entry of food and water for nine days.

Ibrahim Rabea, a Jabalia resident, told Middle East Eye the attack targeted a gathering of people who arrived at the centre to collect the remaining aid there after they ran out of food in their homes.  

At least 10 were killed and 40 others wounded in the bombing, according to initial estimates. 

Those killed and wounded were left strewn on the streets "with no ambulances, no civil defence and no one able to rescue them," said Rabea.
